"This came from a friend in my Sunday school class several years ago. I've never tried it, but just now found it in my stack of saved recipes. I'm putting it here so that I don't lose it. I've found other similar recipes on here, but none that are exactly the same."

- 1⁄2 cup evaporated milk
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups coconut
- 1⁄2 - 1 cup chopped pecans
directions
- Set ½ cup brown sugar aside to sprinkle on cake before you bake. (I have used both dark and light, either is yummy.).
- Mix all ingredients except brown sugar and pour into a 9 x 13 greased and floured cake pan.
- Sprinkle brown sugar on top of cake batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

<p>I'm an attorney by education and a court reporter by current employment (love my job!). A couple of years ago, we had the opportunity to relocate to my home state of Louisiana, and I am happy happy happy to be here! I've been cooking since I was old enough to see the top of the stove - my mother was a home economics teacher, and she believed in starting me off early. I work full-time, I'm a Scentsy consultant, and I dream of getting my little bath goodie business up and running.</p>
